Slowly Killing Herself

I feel this anger bubbling inside me
Coursing through my veins, like fluids through an IV
Frustration builds up into a single wet tear
I wanna scream, (insert "F" word here)!

This anger quickens my pulse
I'm shaking, my muscles start to convulse
My breathing gets faster and faster
While she sits there, complacent, getting plastered

I scream obscenities at her in my head
While, for the millionth time, I help her into bed
All this frustration is waiting, yearning for release, while tearing at my throat
But, I say nothing, on my unsaid words, again I choke

We've had many arguments before about her drinking
But, I try again and again to get her to stop, what was I thinking?
She's slowly killing herself with every beer she guzzles down
And I can't help but to think she no longer wants to be around

Another day, another beer in hand
Her eyes are glazed, her face is bland
I look at my mom, and my heart begins to break
She won't help herself, she doesn't have the strength.
